My friend Sue as well as I got out for a walk yesterday morning. It was the commencement fourth dimension we'd walked since concluding August. We had lovely weather condition for it, if merely a flake chilly. The chill was overnice for exercising, as well as eventually, nosotros were both besides warm. The recent rains possess got for sure been skilful for the countryside. The wheat was coming up, virtually 8 inches tall now.
Rounding the commencement corner of our loop, nosotros came to my most-photographed barn.
And how could I resist taking pictures of every blooming thing? This rhododendron is inward bloom. Ours at domicile (and higher elevation) are barely getting started.
Recently, I upgraded to a novel iPhone. The novel ane has to a greater extent than features on the camera, as well as I did around experimenting. It yet isn't equally skilful equally my Nikon point-and-shoot, but it fits conveniently inward my pocket, which is an fantabulous feature.
Take a facial expression at this apple tree tree. Apple trees are inward blossom all over the valley right now.
Here's a close-up.
Also, the tulips are at their best right now.
I'm non sure what sort of a tree this is, but it was lovely.
One of the valley neighbors has added a herd of cows since nosotros concluding walked this loop.
As nosotros rounded the 3rd corner of our loop, nosotros were treated to this thought of the valley as well as Mt. St. Helens inward the background. You tin barely run into Mt. Rainier to its left. Walking on, nosotros could also run into Mt. Adams.
Why did the raccoon cross the road? I don't know, but he left his dingy footprints behind.
Sue had gifts for me from Christmas. I had a few things I picked upwards along the way for her too. She gave me these kitty slippers, which is sort of a tradition betwixt us.
Also, recall this sign I saw on a bench equally Mike as well as I walked the Cliff Walk inward Newport, Rhode Island?
If I'm remembering correctly, I texted this prototype to Sue as well as told her I hoped mortal would create something similar this for us around day. Sue merely took the bull past times the horns as well as went ahead amongst it. Who says you lot possess got to choke to observe a skilful friend?
Now I'm thinking we'll larn a commons bench for our field, which is something I've wanted for a long time, as well as hang this plaque there.
There was no sewing yesterday except to brand a petty to a greater extent than progress on the latest Sundress block.
There's merely that petty flake at the bottom to finish. I'm hoping to complete it upwards this morning. That tiny chain stitch takes forever.
Now I'm virtually to tell you lot a petty undercover I've been belongings on to. Remember that RV nosotros looked at inward South Carolina? If not, you lot tin click on that link I merely gave you. Well. When the jack on the electrical flow RV broke for the 3rd fourth dimension spell nosotros were inward New Orleans, Mike called the dealer as well as pose inward a particular gild for a novel one.
This morning, he left to drive dorsum to South Carolina to selection it up. Why South Carolina, you lot ask? Because they gave us the best deal...like a really, actually super deal...and then it was worth the drive to buy it from them. It's a long drive for Mike, but it was the most efficient as well as cost-effective way to larn it dorsum home. Of course, he'll possess got the RV on the drive back, as well as then it'll endure sort of fun for him to possess got the whole identify to himself on his drive home. (Besides, he tin larn the kinks worked out spell he's at it.) And that agency I'll endure a feral adult woman for the adjacent few weeks. I hold off I'll larn lots of sewing done.
